Think about it. 1066 and all that. Henry V was (I think) the first English king to do most of his royal business (no bathroom or throne jokes please) in English ... English kings claimed the throne of France up until the 19 th century. As an aside, Frederick the Great introduced a new medal for bravery for Prussian soldiers ... he called it the Pour le Merite.
